Actually, from what I read, in the Highly desirable A Level/IB Higher Level in a third mathematics/science/technology subject is suggested, and F.Maths is strongly encouraged, or alternatively all the Mechanics modules in Mathematics.
You're right!

Haha, I just summarised a third Math subject as Further Math so as to not complicate things more, but yes that's what's written on the website. Thank you!

Give Chemistry and Maths this October/November, or else you won't be able to give your AS properly. And of course you should go for A-levels, what kind of question is that?
As for subject selection, did you have English as a first language in IGCSE? If not, you'll have to take it in AS. AS/A Physics and Maths is compulsory, and take the Mechanics modules of Maths. All universities require an additional third science subject, so take your pick out of F.Maths, Chemistry or Design and Technology. I would suggest Chemistry, but if it's too hard for you, then go for Design and Technology.

I will be creating a blog and a separate thread for this purpose, so if possible, can you wait for a while? I will finish this by 14th June, because I have a few personal matters to attend to, and I still have my EM exam :( However, if you require the information immediately, please inbox me, and I will try to get to you ASAP.
